Which power station will run your appliances?
Enter what you want to run. We check 79 models from EcoFlow, Jackery, Anker SOLIX and Bluetti against each maker’s own figures: does it run everything at once, does it handle the start-up surge, and does it last a day. Models that don’t fit are listed too, with the reason.
| Appliance | Running watts | Hours a day | Start-up watts (if it has a motor) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Running watts are on the appliance’s label or in its manual. Fridges, freezers, pumps and power tools draw several times more for a moment when their motor starts: the manual may give this as starting, surge or peak watts.
How much of the battery’s stored energy reaches the sockets. None of the makers in our data publish this yet: check your model’s manual, or try a few values to see how much it changes the answer.
What the power station uses itself while it’s switched on. Leave blank if you don’t know, and we’ll warn that runtimes are overstated.
For counting standby.
